Early in the morning, Ji Yu and Gu Qingqing got up early.

This time they still contacted the escort agency they had when they returned to Lin'an. The only difference was that this time they set out in groups of four.

Because Ji Shuyao had severe morning sickness due to pregnancy, she did not come to the city gate to see Ji Yu off.

"Qingqing, the journey over the next few days might be a bit rushed. Please be patient!" Ji Yu's voice was full of concern. After all, Qingqing must seldom travel far, and it was unknown whether she could withstand the bumpy journey.

Gu Qingqing looked at Ji Yu's thoughtful preparation of a separate carriage. Even the backrest and soft pillows were prepared. It was so thoughtful. How could she still complain?

"No problem. If A'wei can endure the hardship, then Qingqing can naturally endure it too." Gu Qingqing immediately expressed that she was not afraid of hardship.

Ji Yu still felt a little guilty and said, "Qingqing has suffered with me."

"How could that be? As long as I can be with A'wei, these are not considered hardships. If A'wei leaves me alone in Lin'an City, that would be hardship for me! I only need A'wei." Gu Qingqing said shyly.

[Since your favorability reached 90, the two of you have really become more and more annoying.] The system couldn't help but complain.

[This is called interest, and you, a cold piece of data, will not understand.] Ji Yu did not indulge the system at all.

"Qingqing, take a rest now! After the carriage leaves Lin'an City, it will start to bumpy when it reaches the small road." Ji Yu stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Qingqing in his arms.

All they did along the way was rushing, and they could see that Gu Qingqing had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

After rushing and hurrying, we finally arrived in the capital on the 9th day.

Gu Qingqing looked out from the window of the carriage. The bustling streets of the capital city continued to expand in her eyes, as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down, shining brightly, magnificent and dazzling.

"The night view of the capital is truly prosperous!" Gu Qingqing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Ji Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. "After the palace examination is over, I will take Qingqing out for a walk when I have time."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing responded.

Ji Yu and Gu Qingqing stayed at the same inn tonight. When they arrived at the inn, Master Lin was waiting for them at the door.

"Master." Ji Yu bowed. Qing Qing followed Ji Yu's lead and bowed.

"You don't know, my father heard that you were arriving tonight, and he insisted on waiting for you at the door of the inn. Who is this?" After Lin Yunxiao and Ji Yu finished explaining, they pointed to Gu Qingqing who was standing aside and asked.

After all, they all knew Gu Qingqing. But when Gu Qingqing and Ji Yu stood together, he really didn't know the relationship between them.

Ji Yu wrote one or two letters to the Master, but he did not mention in the letters that he was going to get married this time. He had originally intended to explain it to them.

"This is my new wife. Her surname is Gu and her name is Qingqing." Ji Yu pulled Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, come and meet the Master."

Gu Qingqing turned slightly to the side and saluted, "Greetings, Master."

"This is..." Master Lin was also puzzled as to why Ji Yu suddenly brought back a wife.

"I just got married a few days ago. So I came back a little late." Ji Yu explained.

Anyway, if I let the Master know that I'm married and have a legal wife, he won't ask too many questions. After all, he's not the kind of person who asks questions.

“You are really anxious. Ever since your examination results came out at the end of last month, you left the capital without stopping. You have missed so many marriage proposals from ministers!! And you still…” Master Lin really felt sorry for Ji Yu. After all, the most senior official among them was a second-rank official!!!

When Gu Qingqing heard this, she felt both happy and guilty.

He was delighted because Ji Yu really did as he promised and came back to find him immediately after passing the exam.

He felt guilty because his status had no effect on his career and might even hinder it.

Ji Yu seemed to be aware of her loss. He held her hand and stroked it gently twice, indicating that she should not worry.

"Master, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. I have been traveling for many days and I am very tired." Ji Yu pretended to be weak and said weakly.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with you tomorrow. There will also be some news about the palace examination." Master Lin said and went back to his room.

Ji Yu found the innkeeper and asked for two rooms.

When the waiter heard Ji Yu's name, he quickly called the boss.

A slightly fat middle-aged man in a blue brocade suit came forward and said with a bow, "Are you Ji Huiyuan?"

Ji Yu nodded and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, boss?"

"I heard that Ji Huiyuan passed the imperial examination. Our shop had an activity before. Anyone who passed the imperial examination and stayed overnight in our shop and left his calligraphy, our shop is willing to pay 500 taels of silver." The boss smiled flatteringly.

Ji Yu probably knew what he meant. If he left a calligraphy, he could brag to others tomorrow that this was the room Huiyuan had lived in, and he would feel like he had made a lot of money.

Ji Yu thought about it and felt that he was not at a disadvantage. It was just a piece of calligraphy, but it was worth 500 taels!

Ji Yu immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Please prepare two rooms first and let my wife go to rest. I will go with you to write the inscription."

The boss nodded immediately after hearing this and asked someone to quickly arrange two rooms for him. He also said, "Ji Huiyuan, please stay here with peace of mind. I will pay for the room for the next two days."

Ji Yu quickly declined, "No thanks. After all, you paid for it. I can't take advantage of you in other ways."

The boss didn't force it anymore, and instead asked his staff to prepare two days of free meals for Ji Yu.
